What the hell is wrong with this society that this isn't the norm?

Mom's should be able to stay at home with their kids if they choose, be able to nurse their kids at work if they choose, nurse them most anywhere they choose. And yes, absolutely, collect breast milk for later use.

We are, after all, mammals.

I swear, some of our leaders must be some kind of ugly fish people who spray their eggs and semen into the fish tank and forget about it once they've hired an underpaid abused nanny to take care of whatever crawls out.
